The first edition of Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis, published 20 years ago, was groundbreaking in addressing a subject that was at that time considered taboo. This new, thoroughly revised edition contains a wealth of new material, reflecting the current knowledge and evolving attitudes about boundary violations. The volume, which is based on the author's 30 years of experience evaluating, treating, and consulting on more than 300 cases of professional boundary violations, is essential reading for psychoanalysts, residents, training directors, therapists, and other mental health professionals. Perhaps the most obvious form of boundary violation is sexual, and the author examines how these situations develop, how they destroy the analytic relationship, and how different types of analysts transgress boundaries for different motives, both unconscious and conscious. Other forms of boundary violations (for example, nonsexual and supervisory), are also addressed, including a fascinating and instructive chapter on cyber violations, a type of boundary violation that could not have been predicted 20 years ago. Beautifully written and meticulously referenced, Boundaries and Boundary Violations in Psychoanalysis is an exhaustive, utterly current examination of a critically important topic and represents a vital contribution to the psychoanalytic literature.

Gabbard's stance is emotional, clear-eyed, compassionate, ethically driven. He is our ideal writer on this topic. What is finally clear, alongside Gabbard's pessimism about the management or eradication of these transgressions, is that any advance in understanding and containing the destructive and self-destructive forces in boundary violations will require all of us both to think self reflectively and to be in dialogue with each other.

Adrienne Harris, Ph.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology, New York University In this state-of-the-art edition, Glen Gabbard offers a comprehensive overview of past wisdom and current insights into the persistent problem of boundaries and boundary violations. Written in his usual accessible style, this book spans a wide range in the most deeply thoughtful manner. He never shies away from inconvenient truths of this complex yet rarely traversed terrain. Gabbard courageously made this taboo subject discussable; now he keeps us up to date as well. All mental health professionals should learn this essential knowledge from the 'venerable master' himself.
